After threatening to sue, the Chicago Tribune has obtained data from the city’s police department that tracks every time an officer has opened fire in the city over the past six years. The vast majority of those hit were black men or boys.
There were 435 police shootings from 2010 through 2015, in which officers killed 92 people and wounded 170 others. In all, officers fired 2,623 bullets.
The newspaper’s findings show about four out of every five people shot were African-American males. It found that about half of the officers involved were African-American or Hispanic and most of them had years of experience and were not rookies. …

I *LOVE* this idea. Every wealthy liberal should have several fatherless families living as close to them as possible.
The crime needs to go where it can do some good by producing assaulted, raped and/or murdered Liberals.
Liberals *NEED* violent crime inflicted on them, especially if it's is caused by their own policies.
The Nation needs for Liberals to have violent crime inflicted on them so that the survivors among them will stop being stupid and wake the F*** up!
Hollywood, the Hamptons, Silicon Valley, San Fransisco, all these rich white Liberals very badly need poor fatherless families living right next to them.
Of course that's a pipe dream, because the liberals who *want* these policies will build their tall walls and hire their guards and live in peace in their lily white compounds.
I work in downtown Dallas and there are a lot of hard working black folks.
Amen. I've known many in my life. I've also known a lot of lazy white trash, so it's a good idea to look at people as individuals, not as part of a group.
One lady’s son was working at a Kroger and got robbed in the parking lot by a gun toting thug in an Escalade.
She wants her sons and daughters to be safe. You never hear from blacks that want to feel safe in their community because it doesn’t fit the media narrative.
Everyone who wants to live in peace wants their family to be safe. An idea which I strongly advocate is offering incentives for police officers to live in the neighborhoods they patrol. Even better, hire police from the areas that they will be assigned to patrol.
We are better off having people from each community and who know the quirks of their own community the best. They will get cooperation from people who know them and like them more than from some stranger that comes in and tries to be "robocop."
I believe that is true of the Democrats. I think the Republicans just try to keep a low profile on the subject.
I do not want to get into subjects that the Clintonistas could take out of context, and use against us by misrepresenting the point; but the extent to which the Leftwing egalitarian/collectivists have actually sabotaged Black progress by idiotic psychological forays, is something which you probably understand. Simply using the bully pulpit effectively to promote personal responsibility & to put an end to the vicious appeals to resentment, envy & hate--that has characterized the era of Clinton/Bush & Obama--would be enormously beneficial.
Hah - you won’t see Section 8 in the Hamptons, Chicago’s North Shore, Hollywood/Beverly Hills, etc - the donkeys know where their money is coming from, and hell will freeze over before Section 8 comes to Chappaqua or the like.
If the GOP majority had any cajones, they’d pass a law that any expansion of Section 8 availability would first have to be tested over a 10 year period in the DC suburbs of Virginia and Maryland. Let HEW bureaucrats experiment with the neighborhoods of those bloodsuckers who’ve been living large off our tax dollars while the rest of the country has been in almost a decade of recession.
Don’t be a thug, and you won’t get the slug.
Let us hope that the entire nation eventually comes to it's senses and gets back to Fiscal and Social stability.
Exactly right. But not only is the GOP the party of stupid, it also has no balls to do anything that might be construed as the least bit controversial.
They wouldn't touch the idea.
here’s where you can see actual numbers ( you have to do the counting )
This is not very good for minority perps or minority LEO’s, so it will be ignored.
and the paper missed the 2,000 shootings in the city of Chicago last month and the months before by blacks shooting blacks. Missed them all.
Uh........ 4 out of 5 people in the hood on the south side ARE black, Captain Obvious.
dog bites man.
"It's easier to believe, because they're black, that an officer was in fear of their life
. . . and why would that be?Black men, boys, shoot more police.Oh.
Well, golly gee. I’ll bet they make up the majority of crime in Chicago, too. /s
“We have not accounted for what part of the problem can be attributed to living in high-crime areas.”
But...but...those are only high-crime areas because they live there.
If they move somewhere else, that place would become a high-crime area.
Whites are not doing CRIME (most of them, at least).
You can say they -blacks - are doing the CRIME WHITES won't do... ;-)
No, they are IMHO called ‘THUGS’...
good catch thanks
Well I for one am just deeply saddened over this ...... whats for dinner ?
